Northern Peninsular Malaysia

This area starts of with the isolated peaks of Jerai and those on the Langkawai main island. Dramatic waterfalls make their appearances during the rainy seasons. The broad plains for rice growing gradually give way to another isolated hill at Trong.

Kedah and Perak are both backed by the Main Range on their eastern borders. Tall mountains and lush jungles are places Waterfalls are hidden

From my experiences, if you are looking for adventure, try focusing on eastern Kedah, Gunong Bubu, the new Simpang Pulai / Gua Musang Road and the hills south of Tapah. These few states are in close proximity with each other. Adopting Penang as a base, most destinations are within a few hours drive. Making day trips is not unthinkable fancy and the results can be rewarding.
